UFI HR Award 2021 | UFI The Global Association of the Exhibition Industry | 16 March 2021 | TBA

The 2021 UFI Human Resources (HR) Award will focus on how companies successfully implemented remote working. Although many companies around the world had already considered a more agile approach to work, this phenomenon became much more widespread due to COVID19. This has had a huge impact on both company practices and culture, with consequences on the relationships among colleagues and between employees and management. In this respect, companies were compelled to find creative new ways to guarantee clear and transparent communication through digital platforms, whilst ensuring high levels of engagement and taking care of employees’ physical and mental well-being.

The objective of this HR award is to honour and recognize outstanding initiatives in organisations that have successfully implemented remote working due to COVID-19. The entry should cover the different parts of the process, including the involvement of the senior leadership, the role of the HR department and the outcomes, both within the company and from an external point of view.
